I’ll be doing something similar when I pick up my 60 gallon compressor soon. I’ll be going with the 1/2 kit since the outlet on my air compressor is 1/2. What kind of shop do you have? Is it stick built or is it a prefab metal building. How will you be attaching the lines to the walls?

Looking for a chemical cabinet to store my chemicals and flammables in my shop. I would prefer something slim, but full height like the one in the picture as I am limited on space, but I may consider a wider one as well. I’m located near Charlotte, North Carolina. thanks

Is this an atlas lift? If so, what kind?

Lincoln 180 dual mig machine. Looking to get a tig setup soon

4in of concrete wouldn’t bother me so much if I only planned on lifting my cars and 1/2 ton trucks. But I do plan on lifting heavier vehicles such as 3/4 ton and 1ton trucks.

Are you saying you feel confident in mounting a 2 post lift on 4inches of concrete? At this point I don’t know what to believe I’ve read all different kinds of opinions

How deep would this larger slab need to be? Surely not as deep as two individual footers since it spans such a large area

These are the specs that the manufacturer says is the minimum requirement. Personally I do not trust this. And I’d rather not take the chance. If I’m not mistaken, when you drill into concrete the last 1/2” or so of concrete will break off? If the anchor grabs at 4” deep it will not have...

If I were to use the 3/4” wedge anchors, should they be longer than 5 1/2”? Would it be a good idea to go around the perimeter of the new pads with a concrete edging tool? Wouldn’t this essentially give me small control joints surrounding the pads?

18” below the 4”? Giving me a total of 22”of concrete? Or 18” concrete depth all together? I would be inserting rebar vertically into the hole rather than horizontal so that I am not connecting the new concrete the existing slab? And insert the rebar deep enough so that it does not occupy the...

Will drilling all the way through the concrete into the dirt below (or gravel since my slab is over thick gravel) allow moisture to come in contact with the bottom of the wedge?

The total width of the lift outside column to outside column is 137.5” so the slab would have to be a few feet wider on each side than that? Largest vehicle would be 21ft in length so the slab itself would have to be 10.5ft long? This seems like a lot

What diameter rebar did you use to insert into the pre-existing concrete? It looks as though I may also need to cut through a control joint. There is no issue in doing this correct?

Hey guys I’ve got a 2 post 10k lbs capacity lift that I’m going to be installing in my shop. Originally I had two 3ftx3ft squares poured deeper In my pad for this purpose, but unfortunately I cannot place the lift there as it will not give me the work room needed. I will be cutting two 4ftx4ft...

The lift supplier is sending me new ones.
